I got 3 guest passes for this game, if you want to try before buying, let me know.

I would recommend Nuclear Dawn either way. Really solid online shooter, the community might be kinda small but it's fun.

Worth it? I seem to recall hearing Gothic 3 is good but bug-ridden and the rest are crap.

I like the Gothic games. I liked 4 though it was not a Gothic game in spirit really, I know a lot of others dogged it though. I bought the pack for the same price during the holiday sale and have been happy with it.

I don't remember. Care to give an opinion? ;)

lol... you have it the wrong way around. I think you mean "3 is crap, the rest are good"

Although Gothic 4 is arguably crap too. Making Gothic I and II really the only good ones.

Most performance issues in Gothic 3 were addressed in the community patch, so be sure to install that prior to playing. That is, unless the steam version already includes that patch (which I doubt).

IMO, you can't go wrong buying this pack. Gothic 2 is probably my favorite RPG of all time, with G3 coming in a close second. The scope of G3's open world based gameplay is massive, and I think is what caused it to ultimately fail at retail as it was a bit "too" open for a lack of better description. That along with the many bugs present upon release as the publisher pushed Piranha Bytes to release it too soon. The community patch fixes a lot of the original issues though and it's extremely playable now, as mentioned above.

Bottom line.. get this if you're into open world RPG's.
